Chapter 3854 Chaos In The Void Sect
The weight of his words caused everyone’s heart to sink. “What?” Primo and the others were overwhelmed by shock. “Elder Queen, can you explain?”
“What warrior? Where did he come from?” “Exactly. Please make yourself clear.” The others interjected in turn.
Darius quickly summarized, “While I was under orders to keep watch at Greensill Mountain, a group crossed our border and started a fight with the guards. Upon arriving at the scene, I recognized one of them as the missing Princess of Divinity, Larissa Gould.”
“Elder Queen, this is really serious. Are you sure it was her?” the nervous Gloria questioned.
Waving his hand, Darius answered, “Elder Gaston, you’re probably not aware that I have been to Eclipse on business before and have seen her in the flesh. Furthermore, she has features that stand out from the crowd, especially with the red dot in between her brows. Hence, there’s no way I would’ve made a mistake.”
Gasps echoed through the room.
After the slaughter of the Eclipse Paladins and the kidnap of Larissa, the re-emergence of the latter could only signify the arrival of the mysterious warrior.
Gulp!
Swallowing his saliva, Primo felt terror for the very first time in his life.
Unable to contact the sect leader still, the presence of such a powerful foe would only mean certain destruction for them.
“Quick, spread the message. Order everyone to be on their highest alert! Elder Queen and the few of you, come with me to see Lord Earkenhait at once. As for the rest of you, maintain the defensive formation. Our priority is to stay calm and not let them cause panic amongst our ranks,” Primo instructed, suppressing his own raging emotions.
With that, the crowd nodded before leaving to make the necessary preparations.
As for the rest of the Empyreans and Gloria, they followed behind Primo as he headed off to see Geraint.
The moment news of the attack broke out, chaos descended upon the Void Sect.
Despite the reassurances of the elders, their words fell on deaf ears.
“That warrior doesn’t even fear Eclipse, so how are we going to put up a fight?”
“I heard that the Eclipse Paladins who were slaughtered were capable of annihilating a medium sect on their own. And yet, none of them managed to survive!”
“He might be someone who hails from a super-secret sect. With our sect leader away, I’m afraid the Void Sect is doomed!”
“Even Primo and the others panicked at the news. Thus, we had better start fending for ourselves.”
Terror and despair spread like wildfire within the Void Sect.
The harder the elders tried to calm the populace, the worse their emotions became, forming a vicious cycle.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
At the same time, the alarm—blaring incessantly as part of the defensive measures—further intensified the panic within the Void Sect.
Naturally, there were a group of die-hard followers who had been cultivating within the sect since they were young. Thus, their loyalty toward the sect was unwavering.
Now that the sect was facing its biggest crisis, these followers swore to tie their fate to the sect, even if it cost them their lives.
Back inside the meeting hall, Geraint was wearing a grim expression.
Even though it had occurred to him that Void Sect would be dragged into the matter, the speed at which it happened came as a surprise.
“Luckily, we have gathered more elite warriors before this, but against this warrior, they’re clearly not enough. Give out the order for everyone to arm themselves with their strongest weapons and magical items. Also, start deploying every defensive formation we have. Even though it’s not going to be enough to hold off such a powerful warrior, we can still use it to whittle away at his strength. I, too, will wield the God Crusher. Although it isn’t an ultimate weapon yet, its power has significantly increased after nurturing it for so long,” Geraint declared in a deep voice.
